Can't OC Past 3.48GHz

James1991 · Aug 12, 2007

I have an ECS RC410-M2 MOBO with a Pentium 4 HT 3.0GHz processor and a ICS 951413 Clock generator. i can get the cpu to 3.48GHz but any higher the system just freezes and resets it's self. is this because i haven't raised the voltage? if it is how can i raise the voltage without using the bios because my bios has no overclocking features in it.

Can't do it. Consider yourself lucky with that overclock.

I've gotten a P4 HT 3.4 to 4 stable before, but it needed like freakin 1.7v and got uber hot on air, 3.9 on a day to day basis.

as erocker said, itll be vary hard to do if not impossible. Might try looking for a gui program to software oc it and mess with voltages. Something like what Abit has.

Polaris573 · Aug 12, 2007

Abit's software is proprietary, it only works with their motherboards and even then only on specific models. There is no program that will let you adjust voltages if your motherboard doesn't support it.

consider yourself lucky with that board - they are not the best..........

Yep, ECS's boards mostly aren't made for mad OC-ing, they allow for some OC within tight constraints. My Dad had an ECS board till I bought him an Asus and OC-d the piss out of his system!

I got a P4 630 up to 4.0 before, but my air cooling couldn't handle it at 1.5v. I could hit 3.7 at 1.45, and 3.6 and stock voltage. That stuff is in my G/F's PC now, I love my C2D setup, it was worth every penny then and it's a great deal now! If you really wanna OC, get better equipment and please read my guide (Link in Sig) to better understand the method of OC-ing and what you should prepare and watch out for. :toast:

thanks for that everyone, ill have to get a different mobo one day the

A whole new system would do you better. Most IGP Mobos have a barely satisfactory overclocking potential. Now don't shun me for trying to god you into buying a new system but these parts would completely destroy what you have now:

-Core 2 Duo E4500 (Overclocking happy, 11x Multi)
-Gigabyte GA 965P DS3 Rev 3.3 (This mobo is a classic...)
-MSI X1950PRO

Yes and It would only cost around $500 for that stuff. With what you have you cant really do anything...
